EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, transporting us to the picturesque coastal town of St. Malo, France. The image, titled "The ramparts from Grand Bey, St. Malo," showcases a breathtaking view of the ancient ramparts that once protected this historic seaport. Dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, this coloured photograph is a testament to the rich history and nostalgic charm of St. Malo. The ramparts, a series of fortifications that encircle the Old Town, have stood since the 13th century. They have played a crucial role in the town's defense against various invasions throughout history. In this photograph, we can see the intricate details of the ramparts, with their towers, battlements, and winding walkways, all bathed in the soft, warm glow of the sun. The view from Grand Bey, a hill overlooking the town, offers a unique perspective of St. Malo's historic architecture. The photograph captures the vibrant colors of the buildings, with their red roofs and pastel facades, as well as the lush greenery of the gardens and the clear blue waters of the English Channel in the background. This photograph is a beautiful example of the Photochrom process, a popular method of colorizing photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The process, which involved the use of pigments, created rich, vibrant colors that added depth and dimension to the image. As we gaze at this nostalgic view of St. Malo, we can almost hear the sounds of the bustling marketplace, the laughter of children playing in the streets, and the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a reminder of the enduring charm and beauty of this remarkable town.
